To celebrate the release of our latest film clip, and all of the people who contributed to its success, we are putting on a night of brews and tunes at Whole Lotta Love.
Joining us onstage will be progressive pop lords, Lanota.
Weaving their way flawlessly through genres with finesse and ease, combining sweeping luscious melodies with filthy alt rock overtones, they are a band that need to be experienced to be believed.
And kicking the night into high gear we have our old mates Medicine Dog.Taking tones from the days of old and driving them like a freight train into the current era and smashing down the walls with a white hot live show and an infectious energy that's bound to make you go MMMMMMmmmm!!!

RMJ 'Anyboday' Single Tour Melbourne
Thu September 13th, 7:30 pm - Thu September 13th, 11:00 pm
Whole Lotta Love
524 Lygon St
Brunswick East, VIC 3057 Map
September: RMJ releases and tours the driving new alt-indie single 'Anybody'.
RMJ has steered 2018 into a metamorphosis; transitioning from a folk singer-songwriter into a more ambitious scope that blurs alternative and indie arrangement. The forthcoming single 'Anybody' shows the first glimpse of the expanding musical territories of RMJ.
Supported by indie folkers Forever Son and indie rockers Creature Fear.
2017 saw the release of Forever Son's LP 'Ten Months', a record produced over a 10 month period at frontman Jack Robbins' homestead in Melbourne. Forever Son's sound laces hints of psychedelia around a solid core of folk singer-songwritership that is reminiscent of folkers of yesteryear.
Listen: bit.ly/2P8IEzJ
Creature Fear boasts an impressive live show with a history of notable supports (Kingswood, Ball Park Music to name a few). The Melbourne five piece exerts an energy that's almost akin to traditional punk, yet their sound remains fully in an indie rock vein, with clever choruses, witty hooks and a drive that is contagious upon first listen.

Known as a hard working band, Riff Raiders have gained much respect in the local scene for its consistently powerful upbeat performances, having played nearly 30 shows this year on the back of their debut album ‘Live Like You Mean It’ (released in November 2017).
The album tracks have sold in over 40 countries, receive regular airplay on independent and digital radio locally and internationally (including the USA) and the album was voted No.2 in the Audience Choice Top Ten Albums of 2017 on The Hard Rock Show (CH31TV) in January 2018.
This will be the final Melbourne show for 2018 before a last run of gigs in Geelong, Canberra and Brisbane. Riff Raiders will be heading back to the studio to work on the follow up album at the end of the year.

“This is pure, modern edged rock and roll. Nonstop energetic and catchy riffs mixed with down to earth in your face lyrics.”8/10 Cry of the Wolf Magazine UK
With Live Like You Mean It, the Riff Raiders have delivered a stirring love letter to rock ’n’ roll, a fist-in-the-air anthem that’s alive on arrival. This line says it all: “If rock ’n’ roll is dead then why’s this song stuck in your head?” Jeff Jenkins, The Music/3RRR radio
“Riff Raiders have dropped some classic Aussie Rock that’d make Bon Scott smile” Beat online
Yeah baby, the debut album from Melbourne’s Riff Raiders finally landed on our desk and it’s a slinky, catchy, classy serve of gotta-have-it rock AND roll. The band tell it like it is: positive, life-affirming rock n’ roll made for singing, sweating and – if that’s your bag – drinking to. 8.5/10 (100% ROCK MAGAZINE 7 June 2018)

Stellar Addiction (syd) w Honest Lives - Greyview - Lemon Daze
Fri September 28th, 8:00 pm - Fri September 28th, 11:00 pm
Whole Lotta Love
524 Lygon St
Brunswick East, VIC 3057 Map
Sunny D Promotions presents Sydney Pop Rockers STELLAR ADDICTION with special guests Honest Lives, Greyview and Lemon Daze.
Friday September 28 - 8pm - $10 entry
Whole Lotta Love Bar, Brunswick
If electronic pop rockers Stellar Addiction had a motto it would be this: “if you have something to say, say it loud”.
In August the five-piece from Sydney released their latest EP ‘State of Mind’ and this time round they are embracing the concept of the personal being political.
Though their sound is still grounded in a solid rhythm section, infectious riffs and the big, bold vocals of frontwoman Stacey Abdilla, Stellar Addiction have matured from their pop punk roots - both musically and lyrically.
“I really wanted to move in a different direction than we’ve been before,” Stacey said.
“Previously with Stellar Addiction I’d mostly written about love, both gained and lost. This time round I wanted to focus on issues that are important to me - like all the shit that’s happening in the world right now.”
“I guess the whole concept of the album is focused on social justice issues, but also about the effect that empathy can have on you both mentally and emotionally.”
The release of ‘State of Mind’ is just one highlight in a big year for the band. Along with supporting Slaves (US) on their recent Australian tour, Stellar Addiction took their own show international with tour dates across Japan and the Philippines – which led to a sponsorship with Macbeth Clothing Philippines.
Their killer live shows have also seen the band invited to perform at Ella International Lesbian Festival, the Mardi Gras Fair Day Main Stage, and the Sea Shepherd Stand Fast 40th Anniversary Festival.
Stellar Addiction have become familiar faces on the local live music scene, playing at venues across Sydney and receiving airplay on Triple J.
